On Friday, a fakir having a full stock OF
cheek and gilt jewelry, 'took in the town.
He found a goodly crowd Of gullible people
! and reaped a rich harvest in q brief space
OF time. One wellknown citizen, who buck
ed his game not wisely but too we'll" be-
coming sore over his losses, caused the
fakir's arrest, but with an easy grace doubt.
less born of long experience, that willy in
dividual slipped through the meshes of the
low and hied him Butteward on the even
ing train.
McFadden's Original Uncle Toms Cabin
Troupe is billed to appear at the Opera
House here on the 2Sth instant. 1t is
reputed to be a good company, and we
think it must be, to invest with any degree
of interest at this late day, the aged play
it is rendering. As a histrionic chestnut.
Uncle Toms Cabin undoubtedly takes the
lead.
A spirited trotting race is announced
here for next Sunday, between two fllies
belonging respectively to Gus Gamer and
r. P. Burch. Pools are selling rapidly,
the betting being about even so far.

Prospectors are rapidly awakening from
their winter lethargy and distributing
themselves over the adjacent hills to study
nature in her mineral moods. Already a
number Of valuable inc are reported,
and the general prospect" for this section

The matter of waterworks is a~gitating
our community in a spasmodic ann
just now. Everybody believes that, like
the millennium, they will come, but the
questions of when or through whom re-
main Nered.
The measles are having an extended run
here at present. So far as can be ascer-
tanned, in the selection of their subjects
they respect neither age, sex Or previous
condition. Our friend King, OF the post
Office book store, thought he had run
amuck of them last week, but his malaGy
promptly came to the point in the shape
OF one OF Jobs %conforters, which lent an
additional charm for a few days.
Joe Murray, of tonsorialfame, announces
that he will in q short time fit up one OF the
finest barber shops the Northwest can
boast OF. in the new brick block.
The brick block now being erected on the
site of the buildings destroyed by fire a
few months ago, is advancing heavenward
at a rapid rate. When finished it will add
considerably to the appearance OF the BUSH
ness portion of the city.
Some OF our lawyers, finding legitimate
business dull. are deserving the legal arena
the pugiiistic one, in the laudable at
tempt to keep their combative faculties
bright, we suppose. The plan is, however,
attendant with some physical risks, which
neutralize it's otherwise beneficial tenden-
cies.
